(thirty of 30 - Official DUP NaPo/GloPoWrimo 2020)
i truly thought my ability to become the brook
i often find myself babbling about, here
and in real life would strengthen and enable
me to power through this poem a day for
thirty straight days. . .
This has not been the case!
i found myself many times in the Deep
(end of the pond) treading water, hoping
for a blinding bit of inspiration
if but for one day, at least!
But nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!
Instead, i dribbled, spilled, threw up (arms)
in floccinaucinihilipilification desperation
posting what i was certain is crap only to find
it relatable, comical or wonderful
for many readers – Huh? (& Wow?!!)
and now, finally, this self exploring & torture
is winding down towards a much needed
rest and repast and for some weird reason
i find i am going to miss this. . .
a wee bit.
Only a little bit --
in May it’s back to being indolent!!

Lip service leaves my mouth dry. I mean every word, every time. I learn some of the most memorable lessons from those whose minds almost never quiet. You are no exception. Can't wait to see what you grace us with next :)

a Poet here in the Deep has asked me to spill
about an animal for Her
and i said i would. It's taking so long because i haven't decided what direction i want to go and so i just research and take notes until my intuition takes me to pen it to page.

That approach certainly suits your earth_empath handle. Like stepping into a river and trusting it to sweep you and control the journey. Makes for an intimate write.
